Again, I'm asking that you do not just give me the politically correct "nice" type of response.  I'm looking for honest opinions.

This is for the book I'm working on getting published.  We took all your comments into consideration, along with the recommendations of our graphic artist.  We kept the white background because our research indicates that white on the background denotes importance and the fact that it is a non-fiction book.  Green, obviously for money, that we all need! lol

So, what do you think now?

You can see the previous version here

I like this one even better, it isn't as busy and it will be easy to notice! Great job!

I like this one a lot more.

The more stark black & white for a seriousness, and the green is not only freat for "money" but makes a great contrast.

this cover is more appealing to me. It is less "busy" and has a more educational feel than the telemarketing scam type books.

Though i love what is written on it,why is there no picture on it? It would be more attractive if you have pictures( real pictures ) on the cover.

I think it's terrific.

I do graphic design too, and I tend to agree with Heidi. What I actually liked about the previous cover design is that the color popped even though it was too wordy. This cover is kind of blah. Scale and balance are very important if you want to grab the eye of a buyer. I would suggest you let Heidi do a mock up for you. It's free and if you decide you don't like it, you don't have to use it. By the way, Heidi, a very generous offer!

best of luck on your new cover designs.

I don't care for the white background. It makes it look like a non-descript manual.

I don't like either one of them, don't be mad at me for being honest, =(

I like this one better than the bright colored one, better for the topic I think, maybe those with know how could give you an idea, if for free, take a look, Sure you will do well with it anyway.

I like it better than the first one.
Elaine S. Apr 3, 2009, 7:46am UTC
I like this one better.
maybe the background would look better in a light tan or beige.
Chris E. Apr 3, 2009, 8:56am UTC
I like this one much better!

I like the photo that Heidi suggested. My only problem with that is that it might be used on other people's articles/books, too.

I like that you simplified it down, but a photo might be a good idea.
Deloris Wright Apr 3, 2009, 3:07pm UTC
I think your photo should go om the back. I like this one better then the first one. It is not so busy' I am not sure you have the color right. Hang in there you are going great.
